Got a call that showed up as 'possible scam' on my phone. I let it go to voicemail but they didn't leave anything. From what I can tell from other people's comments, it might be some sort of cold call trying to sell stuff, or maybe a banking scam – depends on whose review you believe.
Didn't pick up since the number was unfamiliar. No idea who it could be.
Got a call from a number I didn't recognise, so I used a phone app to block it. They hung up as soon as I asked what they wanted, so I figured it was probably a spam call. My mobile's on the TPS list, so they're definitely ignoring the rules. I reported them to Ofcom by texting 7726 and blocked the number straight away. If you wanna stand up to these nuisance calls, just text 'Call' plus the number you want to report to 7726.

I got a call from a number that seemed to be local, but when I didn’t pick up, they didn’t leave any voicemail. Feels like it might be one of those scam calls.
I picked up and could barely hear over the call centre noise, so I just ended the call straight away.
Got a call from this number but when I answered, it was dead silent. What’s the point of calling if you’re not gonna say anything? Just ended up hanging up, proper annoying.
This definitely looks like another one of those housing scams to me...
They called, but ended the call super quick, like less than three seconds before I even had a chance to pick up. Pretty sure they was just trying to see if the number's live or not.
Got calls from these two: 0161 573 0392 and 0161 573 0388, so just blocked them both. Bet they’ll try calling back though.
Answered the phone and cut it off straight away. Could hear loads of people chatting in the background.
I answered the call, and the bloke just started with "how are you" and stuff. Then when I asked who he was, he just hung up straight away. It honestly felt like a scam to me. Plus, his accent definitely wasn’t English.
My phone didn't pick up, but it showed up as a nuisance call.
After looking into it a bit more, it seems like the Hutchinson 3G UK is basically the mobile network Three. I reckon these calls are just unwanted marketing trying to persuade folks to switch over to their network. Since they’re constantly cold calling and getting on my nerves, there’s no way I’ll ever use their service. Makes you wonder why they have to keep phoning people out of the blue like this in the first place.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from our gas and electric company, asking to verify some info. He spoke with a really thick foreign accent. I told him to send an email instead, but he said that wasn’t possible and warned if I didn’t answer, we'd likely end up paying too much. I insisted I wouldn’t talk on the phone and asked for an email, then I put the phone down. He rang back shortly after, this time from a different number, again pushing how urgent it was because we’d be overcharged. I stood firm that I’d only communicate via email, and after a bit, he just hung up.
I keep getting calls from someone saying they're from Vodafone, always asking for the account owner. It's never the same number and totally out of the blue. Pretty annoying really.

Somebody rang up saying they could help me nab extra pensioner benefits, which is total rubbish. If that were really a thing, I’d easily find it online myself.
These scammers just keep trying all the time, ringing a few times then stopping so you think it's nothing and call back. That’s when they try to trick you the most. Proper annoying!
About a day after I signed up for internet banking at Lloyds, I got an email that had a fake Lloyds logo on it. It mentioned something about 'an overdraft request' which I definitely never made, and it told me to ring a certain number. It’s obviously a scam, but what puzzles me is how they knew I’m with Lloyds in the first place? If their site is supposed to be secure, how are these scammers tracking their messages to customers?

I got a call that was stopped by my call messenger, but since they didn't leave any voicemail, I'm not going to return the call. Seems like it could be a scam.
Got a call, accidentally answered it, but no one was speaking on the other side. No clue who was trying to reach me.
Been getting calls from numbers that look alike, all about housing claims. Kinda freaks me out how they already use my name when they ring. Feels a bit off, to be honest.

Got a call from someone claiming to be the housing department about repairs I never asked for. I was at work and told the guy, who wasn't great with English, but he kept going. Ended up hanging up and blocking the number. If they ring you, just ignore and block, it's not worth it.
Got a call from someone saying they were from Natwest, total scam. Best thing is to just block the number and delete it, don’t bother calling back.
Natwest
Got a call from someone saying they were helping with my housing situation. I’m a homeowner, so what’s that about? Absolute waste of time. Definitely blocking this number!
01582 378173 called me, said my name, and then just dropped the call right away! Really weird.
